various Starwood Vacation resorts all across the country. Thirteen resorts will offer Roaming
Gnome scavenger hunts to guests, and those who can find him will be eligible for prizes.

crafty enough to discover all of his hiding places will be entered into a grand prize drawing
to win six days and five nights at a Starwood Vacation resort, along with two airline tickets
